Habit
For better or worse, we’re more or less a collection of the things we do repeatedly.
For some of us, this is something we approach strategically, crafting our schedules to produce the best version of ourselves. For others, our patterns and tendencies leave us feeling like they control us.
In talking about these realities, David Brooks says that somewhere between our ‘resume virtues’ and our ‘eulogy virtues’—between our pursuit of wealth,significance, success and our desire forkindness, bravery, integrity—there is a need for an intentionally formed inner life.
Which means that, wherever we findourselves, there’s always an opportunity to start something new.
A new approach. A new tradition. A new practice.
Join us as we consider how the scriptures can be an unexpected guide on this journey.
